Question

In the given sentences, there are two blank spaces. Below each sentence five pair of words have been given. Find out which pair of words can be filled up in the blanks in the same sequence to make the sentence meaningfully complete.

_______ high investments, cloth mills threw working from home women out ______ jobs.

A Because, to Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B Owing, in Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C With, of Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D Without, from Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

After because, of should be used when talking about reason. After Owing, to should be used. These two are inappropriate. With or Without can be sued in the first blank. But for the second blank, OF is appropriate as OUT OF JOBS is a known phrase which means losing jobs. With high investments, cloth mills threw working-from-home women out of jobs.
